Just got done listening to this crazy mix by Boston’s own, “7L”…WOW….It must have took this cat a long time to fully execute this project because it sounds so heavily layered…
It falls under the Nubian Crackers/ Brooklyn Slum Lords/ Kenny Dope/ category, with plenty party rocker type arrangements to get your head nodding…
Fasten your seat belts folks….
Damn……” Babu ” made a good move by hitting us off with these video snippets before his beat tape drops in a couple weeks…Now the anticipation is on the rise…
On # 8 he pays homage to Dilla by spending his day looking for vinyl, getting tree’d up, and visiting his resting place….Cameos by the Alchemist, House Shoes, etc….
After finishing off a hefty box of chocolates my girl gave me for Valentines Day, I though to myself…” What happened to all the fresh female M.C’s out there ” ?…….
Seriously…..
Where did they go ?….I’m not talking about that ” Nicki Manaj ” wobble-headed rap shit…
Nah, I can’t go for that homey (Even though she is looking very spicy)…..I’m talking about B-Girls that really got down for their crown….Soul sistas like Antoinette, M.C.Lyte, Lin-Que, Latifah (Before she switched up her steez), Boss, and a gang of other females that actually had skills….
I can’t even remember the last time I heard a female totally wreck shit….Yeah, a couple females have popped up recently on the blogosphere, but I am not really convinced that they are bringing something new to the table…..
If you guys can prove me wrong, please do so…..Make me eat my words….Send me some tracks by some ill females and I will give you a salute….
Anyway, M.C. Lyte has a blog that you should peep when you get a chance…..Interesting stuff……Hip Hop, fashion, podcast, and tour stories….” Lyte ” is also spinning these days ( I hope she can hold her own on the decks and it’s not just another celebrity scheme )……
On another note, ” Lyte ” is looking real lovely these days….Better now than in her ” Paper Thin ” days..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Tony Toca blesses us with over four hours of Dilla & Pun goodness…I’m not going to hit you in the head with a bunch of descriptions, adjectives, etc…
Quit stalling and swoop this up with a quickness if you know what’s best for you troop….
There was a period of time when I thought Ras Kass was one of the best lyricist on the planet..His vocabulary was so extensive it appeared as if ” RK ” spent the majority of his time in a library…
I’m not necessarily saying that is a prerequisite for being a dope M.C., but it damn sure helps as far as wordplay is concerned..After a couple prison stints, label drama, etc…” R K ” still manages to churn out his brand of Hip Hop in the 21st century…
On this mixtape you will hear some of his finest musical contributions…Rarities, unreleased heaters, well-known gems, and all that other fly shit homeboy…
WEST COAST STAND THE FUCK UP !!!!!!
This mixtape by “Allah Mathematics” dropped earlier this year..Decent stuff poppin off on this one from “Wu’s” official tour D.J.
Kung-Fu samples, self-produced, aggressive lo-fi beats, and a all star Wu – Tang cast make this a worthwhile listen…
Here are a couple highlights…

” It’s What It Is “

Kon & Amir are some of the hardest working D.J.’s that you will ever come across…They have consistently churned out original, highly influential mixes over the years and 2010 looks like it will be another busy year for the dynamic duo…
On a recent trip to Switzerland they did a radio show on Living Room F.M.
In Kon’s own words..
” WHILE IN EUROPE WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DOING THE LIVING ROOM RADIO SHOW ( WWW.LIVINGROOMFM.COM ) IN BASEL SWITZERLAND, WHICH WAS CRAZY, ITS BROADCAST LIVE FROM A RESTAURANT ON MAJOR RADIO… YES MAJOR RADIO !!
IMAGINE THE SET IVE POSTED BEING PLAYED ON A MAJOR STATION IN THE USA AT 10-11 AT NIGHT !?!?
AMAZING FOOD AND DRINKS, THE CHEFS WERE ALL FROM ITALY. WHAT A TREAT THIS WAS
THANKS TO KATJA AND THOMAS FOR HAVING US..
HERES THE LINK TO MY SET.. LIVE FROM BASEL SWITZERLAND… TONS OF EXCLUSIVES ON THIS “…

Be on the lookout duke….
PEEP.
The first time I heard ” Big Pun ” was on that Funk Master Flex volume one mixtape…..I couldn’t believe what the fuck I was hearing straight up and down…
He had the ” Kool G.Rap ” multi-syllable attack down pat, but he threw a different type of twist on it unlike the majority of “G-
Rap ” clones out there…And when ” I’m Not A Player ” dropped (produced by Money Boss Player- Minnesota) I was convinced that Pun was going to shake things up…
Unfortunately ” Pun ” never had the chance to watch his career blossom into the legendary status that it is today…Can you imagine how fucking ill he would sound in 2010….WOW…
It’s been ten years since ” Pun ” passed and it would be impossible to fill the void he left…
Christopher Rios you are missed..
Here is a clip of Pun’s first ever radio appearance on the ” Stretch & Bobbito’s ” show August 31st, 1995…God damn this is just ridiculous ya’ll….Pun really blacks out on this one….
This what Bobbito had to say about this particular recording…..
“In ‘95, Fat Joe brought up Armeggedon, Keith Nut, and Big Dog The Punisher to freestyle on me and Stretch’s show. After the session, I thought in my head, “That dude Big Dog killed it!” That was the first time anyone ever heard him live, and perhaps the first time anyone ever heard of him period as he was unsigned and had never appeared on any of Fat Joe’s records yet. Two years later he was on Loud Records with a big hit “Not A Player” and went multi-plat, etc. Cool story and good memory. He had a very tough image to the public, but around me, Stretch, and Sear, who are all clowns, Pun was a bug out, liked to snap and joke around just like anyone else.”
Peace to DW…
At last years “Mighty 4”, I was very impressed with Massive Monkey’s “D.J. Bles”…..He came equipped with some crazy heavy drum breaks during his set that put me in a B- Boy trance…
On this mix ( Soul Walk ) ” Bles ” straight wrecks shit….This isn’t your average break mix with run of the mill joints you have heard a million times JACK !!!!!
Salute to all my peoples in the 206….
PPPPPREMIERPPPPPPREMIER- Is still smashing the set in 2010…On this new cut with Joell Ortiz ( Project Boy ) ” Preem ” goes in for the kill with some truly dramatic production…
These are the type of beats that give me an immediate ice grill….
I have never really checked for the kid Ortiz…I’m not going to even front, he never grabbed my attention from the joints I heard him on…If he rocks on beats like these in the future, it will force me to stay on alert…
THIS IS THAT SHIT…
And while your at it, you might as well cop Preem’s ” Live At The HeadQuarters ” radio show from last week…..Here is the links
enjoy….
